I noticed that I could spot a take before the guys in the video could by watching the slack in the line between the last eyelet to the left hand. Very interesting. Great video.
Another cool video with some great tips. I love euro nymphing with 2 flies. I love tying nymphs to use!! I tie a lot of my nymphs with Lively Legz in them. Cool company with some great products!! Thanks for another great video!!!
That's the truth! I'm always so tempted to delete these old videos. But I keep them up just to be able to remember how far I've come (both in fishing and editing)
Yessir! And this time of year the fish size can be impressive! Thanks for watching Greg. By the way you've been catching some absolute giants! Keep it up man
Great video guys , at the end of February got pretty banged up with COVID! Lucky to be here but for a guy who’s in the water every couple of weeks, it torture not being out there. For now watching other guys catch fish will have to do . You guys made my day ! Thank you and tight lines
Excellent instructional video. I hope you show how you rig those two nymph setups.....knots and dropper leader lengths. Looking forward to part two. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed! And I don' think we actually went over knots/the leader too much. If I were you I'd look up some actual videos on how to tie the euro rig. But basically it is a triple surgeons knot but you're leaving the tag end longer. Of course in the next video Bradly uses a completely different knot so I guess it is up to you.
Yea bro the swish threw our nets SUCK, unlike the ones we throw threw the nets in our driveways. Tomorrow is another day for a GREAT memory. Sweet vid BROS :)
Man you guys were knocking them dead. Great tips. I bought a fly rod a few years back haven't used it much. I'm a spinner fisherman but would like to get into fly fishing more and start learning to use it. Looks like alot of fun and more challenging. Great video as always.
I love spinner fishing too, that is how I got my start in trout fishing. But if you have the time you should definitely try and get into it. Once you catch a fish or two on the fly it is hard to go back.
I tried the traditional fly casting and never enjoyed it. My arm would feel like it would fall off. Never knew about euro nymphing. Now i will most likely get into nymphing
I've watched a few different things, not sure if I've seen that or not but I believe I have. A lot of those guys have been nymphing longer than I've been fishing haha
Idk if I missed it or something, but it looked like the first guy didnt set his hands before handling the fish. It is possible I didn’t see it if he did, but I’d hate to see such beauties die if illness because of improper handling
Nice video brother! They were some very nice wild rainbows in that stream! I’ve never seen wild rainbows that big in Pennsylvania or West Virginia. Too bad about the net fail it happens should’ve just stitched it together with some heavy tippet...
Yep. And I knew about the hole I was just couldn't stop fishing. I ripped it on a bunch of briers getting to the creek. But yeah this creek has only wild rainbows and during the spawn there are always some bigger ones that push up. It is super fun fishing
Do you guys use the euro sighter, or go by feel when nymphing those smaller streams? Just curious as to your approach that way, some of those I feel like you wouldnt wanna use any indicator. Also, is there a native strain of rainbow out there at all? Super gorgeous bows, thanks take care.
Well I learned I am supposed to go off of the sighter but I find myself using feel a lot. Which is a habit I'm trying to break. But no we don't have a native strain of rainbow. Although those rainbows have been in the creek for probably 50 years or more at this point.
@@hardmanfishing thanks gotcha id love to catch some of those bows. I need to find something that works without an indicator when waters clear and low to not spook fish
@@jameslent1622 Yeah that is the good things about euro nymphing. The lack of an indicator makes it so you almost never spook fish, at least not by fishing to them. It is also crazy effective
@@hardmanfishing no doubt I've gotta practice more, I love doing the little scrub stick on indicator lol. What state out by WV do you guys like fishing the most, and which has the best access in your opinion?
tip for novice anglers, drop shot/bounce rig fished without an indicator is more effective than euro nymphing on small streams imo, and you lose less flies to snags
Hardman Fishing Adventures I hear you, I just feel like too many new anglers are getting on the hype train that is euro nymphing without realizing there’s other methods out there. Also not saying euro nymphing can’t be more effective, like most things there’s pros and cons to both
This video takes some patience. 4 guys on a small stream is a lot of your turn my turn. Enjoyed the video as always. Loads of good content in here. Was he using a sighter at all? I see he is going with Euro Fly line. As you know I am more of a Mono Rig enthusiast. Many ways to fish and all successful. Just curious how he picks up strike detection. Did your brother dirty by the way. Guest catches a huge fish then poor Andrew put on camera catching a dink. Overall enjoyed the video and look forward to the next one.
Yes he uses a sighter. I think you can make it as difficult or as easy as you want to honestly. I know a lot of people use mono rigs and it is supposed to be pretty awesome. But yeah we pretty much just took turns, as I told Andrew I've fished that stream enough that I don't care who catches the fish. Just happy to be out there!
Where are u fishing? Some one trimmed those bushes.. privately owned trout club? Try Michigan public great natives but no one will be trimming the banks..
So we changed flies a lot on this day which I why I didn't go over it much. As Bradly said at the beginning of the video we changed flies based on depth and other water conditions. We used a pheasant tail, hairs ear, midge patterns, mop flies,, etc.
If you've never needed a net, you've missed a TON of fish by using super heavy tippet. Light tippet gets loads of trout and it breaks off a lot without a net. Sucks that you've fished so much and missed so many fish 🤔
